Clickasso: IOGraph turns mouse movements into art

It's very simple. Download and install it, and leave it running while you work. Over time, the lines will build up and combine to give you an impression of the places on the screen that you visit most regularly. When you like the result, hit the "Save Image" button.

The app was originally known as MousePath, and was created by a Russian designer named Anatoly Zenkov, with his colleague Andrey Shipilov. The idea was just to "brighten up" the work he was doing, but after posting a few shots on Flickr, the interest it generated stirred him to release it more publicly.

IOGraph works on Windows, Mac and Linux. It's free, and available now. Be aware, of course, that this is essentially is a keylogger for mice, so you might want to turn it off before you do any kind of online banking or sensitive work. Not that I'm saying the code's malicious, but you never know.

If you've made any pretty pictures with it, then drop us a link in the comments along with an idea of what you were doing to create it. We'd love to see.
